Now Tonya--

THANK YOU Phil for the complete list.  I was afraid that I had missed a few
Birthdays and I have!!   I find it strange that Tom was born on December
31st.  Why do you think that JKR picked that date of all dates to have Lord
Voldemort be born??  I am very curious about this choice of date.  I would
have said WELL of course if he had been born on Halloween, you know what I
mean??

Any ideas on this??
Tonya
